02 / POP vs Gypsum

POP or gypsum?

Cost

POP ₹95 to 105 / sq ft. Gypsum ₹100 to 150 / sq ft. POP is usually the cheaper base.

Finish

POP is hand-finished and more moldable for curves. Gypsum is factory-smooth with crisp, clean lines.

Durability

POP is sturdy but can hairline-crack over years. Gypsum is light, stable and jointed in sheets.

Moisture

POP copes a little better with damp. Gypsum stays dry best; use moisture-resistant board in wet zones.

POP or gypsum, which is better?

Gypsum is faster and cleaner with a smoother finish; POP is cheaper and more moldable. Gypsum suits dry living areas; both need moisture care in kitchens and bathrooms. For most Chennai homes, gypsum for flat ceilings and POP or designer profiles for curves and detail is a good mix.
